Andromache. Here, sister; arm'd, and bloody in intent.
3285Consort with me in loud and dear petition,
Pursue we him on knees; for I have dream'd
Of bloody turbulence, and this whole night
Hath nothing been but shapes and forms of slaughter.

Troilus. For the love of all the gods,
Let's leave the hermit pity with our mothers,
And when we have our armours buckled on,
The venom'd vengeance ride upon our swords,
3330Spur them to ruthful work, rein them from ruth.

Troilus. Who should withhold me?
3335Not fate, obedience, nor the hand of Mars
Beckoning with fiery truncheon my retire;
Not Priamus and Hecuba on knees,
Their eyes o'ergalled with recourse of tears;
Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn,
3340Opposed to hinder me, should stop my way,
But by my ruin.

[Re-enter CASSANDRA, with PRIAM]

Cassandra. Lay hold upon him, Priam, hold him fast:
He is thy crutch; now if thou lose thy stay,
3345Thou on him leaning, and all Troy on thee,
Fall all together.

Hector. I must not break my faith.
You know me dutiful; therefore, dear sir,
3360Let me not shame respect; but give me leave
To take that course by your consent and voice,
Which you do here forbid me, royal Priam.

Pandarus. A whoreson tisick, a whoreson rascally tisick so
3395troubles me, and the foolish fortune of this girl;
and what one thing, what another, that I shall
leave you one o' these days: and I have a rheum
in mine eyes too, and such an ache in my bones
that, unless a man were cursed, I cannot tell what
3400to think on't. What says she there?

Troilus. Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart:
The effect doth operate another way.
[Tearing the letter]Go, wind, to wind, there turn and change together.
3405My love with words and errors still she feeds;
But edifies another with her deeds.
